Paul, a former gardener from Manchester, said he was forced to close his guesthouse after facing the ‘hell’ of EU and Italian regulations
Paul was frustrated by the “ridiculousness” of the situation, and laughed out loud, he says, when Italian authorities told him that if his property had turned into a real B&B, he could no longer serve fresh breakfast to clients, with homemade jam, cakes, cheeses and plates of cold-cuts. “I retired to Italy because I wanted to lead a simple, no-brainer life, while running a small activity. I like meeting and welcoming people. But it’s been a nightmare. On top of Italian regulations, there are European ones which make it more complicated. How can anyone prosper in the EU?”
The EU’s new privacy law, the General Data Protection Regulation aimed at protecting consumers in the digital era, would have dealt Paul a further blow.
